Down Under

Sir Edwyn, you descend the stairs and see it forks. Sir Gabriel is toward the northern fork -- you can see his light and hear him rummaging.

You find yourselves in a dusty, rectangular room. There are tools strewn about here. It looks like someone was trying to dig into the stonework walls here. The far wall has huge blocks stacked haphazardly near a narrow hole in the wall. It looks like a narrow tunnel continues past through the hole.

Sir Gabriel, the two bodies are filthy; stinky leathers and furs, a cudgel, and each has a little sinew and burlap pouch.

I pick up the pouches and look at Sir Edwyn "we need to find her! I hope that they have treated her illness." looking back at the tunnel "you ready" once he acknowledges that hes ready I'll start moving to the tunnel.

Climbing into the tunnel, you press onward. It's much more narrow here and the dust is choking. You turn the bend ahead -- southward -- and there is a sudden dip and stretch of water that seems to have flooded the tunnel.

There is a gap between the tunnel ceiling and the water, but it's not much. Maybe an inch or two. Otherwise, you might have to submerge yourself to swim beyond.

I'm going to assume Sir Edwyn isn't going solo cave diving, so we'll move forward. You start to head back toward the way you came. When you get to the fork again, you notice torchlight up the stairs toward the abbey. You still hear that trickling water the other direction.
